Well, not only are we changing e-mail submissions, we're entirely
changing our format. I've attached a Word document with new information. It's not
in the same style as our previous listing, so if you have any questions,
just holler.

We're changing format with our September/October issue. Also, our editor
in chief is K.C. Compton (I don't remember if I gave you her name before).

Editor-in-Chief: K.C. Compton
Description and Readership: Grit magazine celebrates the intergenerational bonds among those who live on the land with spirit and style -- a legacy of self-sufficiency, audacious ingenuity and pragmatic problem-solving that gave this country its backbone and continues to shape its unique character.

Freelance Potential:
60% written by non-staff writers.
NO unsolicited manuscripts accepted; query first. Prefer e-mail queries; must include “Query” in subject line.
Do not try to write for this magazine if you know nothing about rural life. We intend to be an authoritative voice for rural lifestyle farmers and require our writers to be informed about their subject matter.

There would never be a time when we would not provide compensation for
an article, and, in most cases, the rates would be negotiable. That being
said, our editor in chief does have certain rates in mind when she negotiates.

For feature articles, about 35 cents per word. Photos to accompany the
article (other than courtesy photos), would be $35 to $175 per published
photos.

For Grit Gazette items (news and quirky briefs of interest to lifestyle
farmers of 350 to 700 words), $50 to $75 per item.

We¹re also looking for great stand-alone photos of life on the farm, $75
to $150 per published photo.

Also, our new writer¹s guidelines will be posted on our Web site around
September 1.
